Tool for Eliminating Dog-Mediated Human Rabies through Mass Dog Vaccination Campaigns

Abstract

The World Health Organization and collaborating agencies have set the goal of eliminating dog-mediated human rabies by 2030. Building on experience with rabies endemic countries, we constructed a user-friendly tool to help public health officials plan the resources needed to achieve this goal through mass vaccination of dogs.
